🌸In March 2016, Mozart’s Oboe Quartet drifted through the museum lobby....
From that moment, a quiet journey began — now in its tenth year.
Ensemble Blumentöne has since nurtured its sound, drawing on classical repertoire for chamber music and chamber orchestra.

The ensemble was founded in March 2016 as a quartet of oboe and strings for a lobby concert at a corporate art museum.
As new members joined, our activities gradually expanded to include string quartets and other chamber works, leading to our first “Spring Concert” at Yotsuya Civic Hall in May 2017.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, we resumed our activities in spring 2022.
We began presenting concerts in a small “music festival” style, featuring Mozart’s concertos and symphonies with chamber orchestra.
In the autumn of the same year, we held a chamber music concert at the Azabu Community Centre Hall.
We now focus on two regular concerts each year — in spring and autumn — as we continue to enrich our musical activities.
For this year’s spring concert, we are honored to welcome Mr. Kenichi Furube, one of Japan’s leading oboists and conductors, as we aim for further artistic growth.
“Blumentöne” is a coined German word meaning “melodies of blooming flowers.”
Just like the flowers that flourish in each season, we hope to bring beautiful music to your hearts.
